Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chabazite-type zeolite having a high silica content and a large crystal size, and a process for producing the zeolite.
  • Chabazite-type zeolites are zeolites having a three-dimensional pore structure constructed of 8-membered oxygen rings of 3.8 ⁇ 3.8 ⁇ , and are designated and classified as the structure type code CHA, as zeolites having a fully identified crystal structure, by International Zeolite Association (non-patent document 1).
  • Chabazite-type zeolites are known as naturally occurring zeolites and typically have the composition Ca 6 2+ [Si 24 Al 12 O 72 ] (non-patent document 2).
  • Examples of synthetic zeolites of the chabazite type include zeolite D disclosed in patent document 1 and zeolite R disclosed in patent document 2, each zeolite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 3.45-4.9.
  • patent document 3 and patent document 4 are disclosed a zeolite of the so-called high-silica chabazite type having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 5-50, which is designated as SSZ-13, and methods for synthesizing the zeolite.
  • patent document 5 a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 20-50 and a crystal diameter of 0.5 ⁇ m or less, which is designated as SSZ-62. Furthermore, patent document 6 and non-patent document 3 disclose that a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 100 or greater can be synthesized by adding fluorine.
  • Synthetic zeolites have regularly arranged pores having a uniform size which are due to the crystal structure thereof. Using the pore structures, synthetic zeolites are industrially used as desiccants, adsorbents for adsorbing various inorganic or organic molecules on the basis of differences in polarity and molecular diameter, solid acid catalysts, etc. For example, chabazite-type zeolites also are known to be usable as catalysts for chemically converting an oxygenic organic compound, e.g., an alcohol, into a lower olefin (patent document 6 and patent document 7).
  • an oxygenic organic compound e.g., an alcohol
  • HFA134a 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
  • HCFC 1122 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene
  • pattern 9 an adsorptive separating agent for separating the propylene from the propane by adsorbing propylene on the zeolite from a mixture of propylene and propane
  • an adsorptive separating agent for separating oxygen, carbon dioxide, or helium from a mixture thereof with nitrogen (patent document 10)
  • a catalyst for synthesizing a methylamine compound (patent document 11), a catalyst for producing acetonitrile through ammoxidation of ethane (patent document 12), a catalyst for selective reduction of nitrogen oxides with hydrocarbon in automobile exhaust gas (patent document 13), an odor absorbent for use in fibrous members constituting sanitary articles (patent document 14), etc.
  • chabazite-type zeolites are expected to be utilized in a variety of application, in particular, as adsorbents and catalyst supports.
  • the zeolites must have durability required of adsorbents or catalyst supports.
  • the zeolites are required not to decrease in adsorption performance even when repeatedly heated.
  • the catalysts for use in exhaust gas purification are required to have thermal durability which enables the catalysts to retain their catalytic performance at high temperatures.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a chabazite-type zeolite which, when used as a catalyst support or adsorbent base material, has high durability and high thermal resistance and a process for producing the zeolite.
  • the present inventors diligently made investigations on improvements in the durability and thermal resistance of chabazite-type zeolites and on processes for the production. As a result, the inventors have found that a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of 15-50 and an average particle diameter of 1.5 ⁇ m or more has high durability and thermal resistance and that such a chabazite-type zeolite can be produced under conditions different from conventional conditions, and the invention has been thus completed.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention has the high durability and high thermal resistance which are required of catalyst supports and adsorbent base materials. Furthermore, the chabazite-type zeolite having high durability and thermal resistance can be produced using conditions under which an organic structure-directing agent, which is expensive, is used in a small amount.
  • FIG. 1 is photograph of zeolite 3 taken with a scanning electron microscope (hereinafter referred to as “SEM”).
  • FIG. 2 is an SEM photograph of comparative zeolite 1.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is high-silica chabazite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of 15-50.
  • SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio thereof is less than 15, the durability and thermal resistance which render the zeolite useful as an adsorbent or catalyst support are difficult to obtain.
  • SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio thereof exceeds 50, this zeolite is insufficient in solid acidity, which renders the zeolite useful as an adsorbent or catalyst support.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention should have an average particle diameter of 1.5 ⁇ m or more. From the standpoints of techniques for industrially producing the synthetic zeolite and of use of the zeolite as an adsorbent or catalyst support, it is preferred that the average particle diameter thereof should be 1.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m. Crystal particles smaller than 1.5 ⁇ m which have been reported, in particular, crystal particles smaller than 1.0 ⁇ m, have reduced durability and thermal resistance when used as an adsorbent or catalyst support.
  • Average particle diameter in the invention can be evaluated by a 10% particle diameter and a 50% particle diameter which are obtained through particle diameter distribution analysis (volumetric distribution) by the laser diffraction and scattering method, or through an observation with an SEM.
  • the zeolite is dispersed in water and this dispersion is subjected to a treatment in which the crystal particles are brought into a homogeneously dispersed state with an ultrasonic homogenizer, before being measured.
  • the particle diameter can be determined with good reproducibility.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention has the crystal particle morphology in which the rhombohedral faces can be clearly observed. Consequently, the zeolite can be evaluated for particle diameter, for example, by arbitrarily selecting 50 crystal particle images from one or more SEM photographs taken at 5.000-fold magnifications, measuring the 50 crystal particle diameters thereof, and calculating a weighted average thereof.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is in the state of being dispersed as primary particles and, hence, there is a good correlation between the average particle diameter and the 10% particle diameter obtained through the particle diameter distribution analysis measurement by the laser diffraction and scattering method.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is produced from starting materials which are composed basically of a silica source, an alumina source, an alkali source, a structure-directing agent (hereinafter referred to as “SDA”), and water.
  • SDA structure-directing agent
  • An ingredient having the function of accelerating crystallization, such as, e.g., seed crystals, may be added.
  • silica source use can be made of colloidal silica, amorphous silica, sodium silicate, tetraethyl orthosilicate, an aluminosilicate gel, or the like.
  • alumina source use can be made of aluminum sulfate, sodium aluminate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum chloride, an aluminosilicate gel, aluminum metal, or the like. It is desirable to use a silica source and an alumina source which are in such a form that they can be sufficiently evenly mixed with the other ingredients.
  • alkali source use can be made of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, the alkali components of an aluminate and silicate, the alkali component of an aluminosilicate gel, or the like.
  • the SDA use is made of at least one member selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trialkyladamantylammonium as a cation and of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trimethylbenzylammonium ion, an N-alkyl-3-quinuclidinol ion, or an N,N,N-trialkyl-2-ammonium exonorbornane as a cation.

  • N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium carbonate N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium methyl carbonate
  • N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium sulfate N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium hydroxide
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention can be produced so that the SDA/SiO 2 ratio is 0.05 or greater but less than 0.13 and the H 2 O/SiO 2 ratio is 5 or greater but less than 30.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite which can be obtained is limited to one having an average crystal particle diameter less than 1.5 ⁇ m as in conventional techniques. Furthermore, since the SDA is expensive, use of such a higher SDA/SiO 2 ratio is uneconomical. On the other hand, in the case where the SDA/SiO 2 ratio is less than 0.05, the crystallization of the chabazite-type zeolite is insufficient and by-products (impurities) are generated.
  • the starting-material composition in the invention should have an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 16-100.
  • SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio is less than 16 or greater than 100, it is difficult to synthesize a chabazite-type zeolite having a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 15-50.
  • the OH/SiO 2 ratio which is an index to the amount of hydroxide ions, is preferably 0.1 or greater but less than 0.9, and is more preferably 0.15-0.5. In the case where the OH/SiO 2 ratio is less than 0.1, the crystallization of zeolite is difficult to proceed. In the case where the OH/SiO 2 ratio is 0.9 or greater, dissolution of the silica component is accelerated and, hence, it is difficult to obtain a chabazite-type zeolite having the SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio and particle diameter according to the invention.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is produced, the chabazite-type zeolite is crystallized in the presence of at least one element selected from the group consisting of K, Rb, and Cs, as alkali metal ions having the function of mineralizing.

  • the chabazite-type zeolite can be produced.
  • the starting-material composition may be allowed to remain static. It is, however, preferred that the starting-material composition should be kept being stirred and mixed.
  • the resultant mixture is allowed to cool sufficiently and subjected to solid-liquid separation. The solid matter is washed with a sufficient amount of pure water and dried at any desired temperature of 100-150° C.
  • a chabazite-type zeolite according to the invention is obtained.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite, as obtained, can be used as an adsorbent, a catalyst support, or an ion exchanger body.
  • the chabazite-type zeolite obtained contains the SDA and/or the alkali metal within the pores, and can be used after these ingredients are removed according to need.
  • For removing the SDA and/or the alkali metal use can be made of a liquid-phase treatment with an acidic solution or with a chemical including an SDA-decomposing ingredient, an exchange treatment with a resin or the like, or thermal decomposition. A combination of these treatments may also be used. It is also possible to utilize the ion-exchange ability of the zeolite to convert the zeolite to the H form or NH 4 form before the zeolite is used. For this conversion, a known technique can be used.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a chabazite-type zeolite having a high silica content and a large crystal size, and a process for producing the zeolite.
BACKGROUND ART
Chabazite-type zeolites are zeolites having a three-dimensional pore structure constructed of 8-membered oxygen rings of 3.8×3.8 Å, and are designated and classified as the structure type code CHA, as zeolites having a fully identified crystal structure, by International Zeolite Association (non-patent document 1).
Chabazite-type zeolites are known as naturally occurring zeolites and typically have the composition Ca6 2+[Si24Al12O72] (non-patent document 2). Examples of synthetic zeolites of the chabazite type include zeolite D disclosed in patent document 1 and zeolite R disclosed in patent document 2, each zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 3.45-4.9.
In patent document 3 and patent document 4 are disclosed a zeolite of the so-called high-silica chabazite type having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 5-50, which is designated as SSZ-13, and methods for synthesizing the zeolite.
In patent document 5 is disclosed a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 20-50 and a crystal diameter of 0.5 μm or less, which is designated as SSZ-62. Furthermore, patent document 6 and non-patent document 3 disclose that a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 100 or greater can be synthesized by adding fluorine.
Synthetic zeolites have regularly arranged pores having a uniform size which are due to the crystal structure thereof. Using the pore structures, synthetic zeolites are industrially used as desiccants, adsorbents for adsorbing various inorganic or organic molecules on the basis of differences in polarity and molecular diameter, solid acid catalysts, etc. For example, chabazite-type zeolites also are known to be usable as catalysts for chemically converting an oxygenic organic compound, e.g., an alcohol, into a lower olefin (patent document 6 and patent document 7). Other uses thereof which have been disclosed include an adsorptive separating agent for purifying 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA134a) contained in a mixture of HFA134a and 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene (HCFC 1122) (patent document 8), an adsorptive separating agent for separating the propylene from the propane by adsorbing propylene on the zeolite from a mixture of propylene and propane (patent document 9), an adsorptive separating agent for separating oxygen, carbon dioxide, or helium from a mixture thereof with nitrogen (patent document 10), a catalyst for synthesizing a methylamine compound (patent document 11), a catalyst for producing acetonitrile through ammoxidation of ethane (patent document 12), a catalyst for selective reduction of nitrogen oxides with hydrocarbon in automobile exhaust gas (patent document 13), an odor absorbent for use in fibrous members constituting sanitary articles (patent document 14), etc.
As described above, chabazite-type zeolites are expected to be utilized in a variety of application, in particular, as adsorbents and catalyst supports. However, for industrial uses, the zeolites must have durability required of adsorbents or catalyst supports. For example, for use in an adsorption/desorption process involving a thermal regeneration step, the zeolites are required not to decrease in adsorption performance even when repeatedly heated. Meanwhile, the catalysts for use in exhaust gas purification are required to have thermal durability which enables the catalysts to retain their catalytic performance at high temperatures. There has hence been a desire for a chabazite-type zeolite which has even better durability and heat resistance that have not been obtained so far.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problem that the Invention is to Solve
An object of the invention is to provide a chabazite-type zeolite which, when used as a catalyst support or adsorbent base material, has high durability and high thermal resistance and a process for producing the zeolite.
Means for Solving the Problem
The present inventors diligently made investigations on improvements in the durability and thermal resistance of chabazite-type zeolites and on processes for the production. As a result, the inventors have found that a chabazite-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 15-50 and an average particle diameter of 1.5 μm or more has high durability and thermal resistance and that such a chabazite-type zeolite can be produced under conditions different from conventional conditions, and the invention has been thus completed.
Essential points of the invention reside in the following (1) to (3).
  • (1) A chabazite-type zeolite characterized by having an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 15-50 and an average particle diameter of 1.5 μm or more.
  • (2) A process for producing the chabazite-type zeolite according to (1) above, characterized in that a starting-material composition in which the molar ratios of a structure-directing agent and water to SiO2 satisfy
    0.05≤(structure-directing agent)/SiO2<0.13 and
    5≤H2O/SiO2<30
    is crystallized in the presence of at least one kind of alkali metal ions selected from the group consisting of K, Rb, and Cs, and that
    the structure-directing agent comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trialkyladamantylammonium as a cation and of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trimethylbenzylammonium ion, an N-alkyl-3-quinuclidinol ion, or an N,N,N-trialkyl-2-ammonium exonorbornane as a cation.
  • (3) The process for chabazite-type zeolite production according to (2) above, characterized in that the structure-directing agent comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of N,N,N-trialkyladamantylammonium hydroxide, N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium halides, N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium carbonate, N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium methyl carbonate, and N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium sulfate.
Effects of the Invention
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention has the high durability and high thermal resistance which are required of catalyst supports and adsorbent base materials. Furthermore, the chabazite-type zeolite having high durability and thermal resistance can be produced using conditions under which an organic structure-directing agent, which is expensive, is used in a small amount.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is photograph of zeolite 3 taken with a scanning electron microscope (hereinafter referred to as “SEM”).
FIG. 2 is an SEM photograph of comparative zeolite 1.
 MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is high-silica chabazite having an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 15-50. In the case where the SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio thereof is less than 15, the durability and thermal resistance which render the zeolite useful as an adsorbent or catalyst support are difficult to obtain. In the case where the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio thereof exceeds 50, this zeolite is insufficient in solid acidity, which renders the zeolite useful as an adsorbent or catalyst support.
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention should have an average particle diameter of 1.5 μm or more. From the standpoints of techniques for industrially producing the synthetic zeolite and of use of the zeolite as an adsorbent or catalyst support, it is preferred that the average particle diameter thereof should be 1.5 μm to 10 μm. Crystal particles smaller than 1.5 μm which have been reported, in particular, crystal particles smaller than 1.0 μm, have reduced durability and thermal resistance when used as an adsorbent or catalyst support.
Average particle diameter in the invention can be evaluated by a 10% particle diameter and a 50% particle diameter which are obtained through particle diameter distribution analysis (volumetric distribution) by the laser diffraction and scattering method, or through an observation with an SEM.
In the laser diffraction and scattering method, the zeolite is dispersed in water and this dispersion is subjected to a treatment in which the crystal particles are brought into a homogeneously dispersed state with an ultrasonic homogenizer, before being measured. Thus, the particle diameter can be determined with good reproducibility.
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention has the crystal particle morphology in which the rhombohedral faces can be clearly observed. Consequently, the zeolite can be evaluated for particle diameter, for example, by arbitrarily selecting 50 crystal particle images from one or more SEM photographs taken at 5.000-fold magnifications, measuring the 50 crystal particle diameters thereof, and calculating a weighted average thereof. The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is in the state of being dispersed as primary particles and, hence, there is a good correlation between the average particle diameter and the 10% particle diameter obtained through the particle diameter distribution analysis measurement by the laser diffraction and scattering method.
Next, the process for producing the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is explained.
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is produced from starting materials which are composed basically of a silica source, an alumina source, an alkali source, a structure-directing agent (hereinafter referred to as “SDA”), and water. An ingredient having the function of accelerating crystallization, such as, e.g., seed crystals, may be added.
As the silica source, use can be made of colloidal silica, amorphous silica, sodium silicate, tetraethyl orthosilicate, an aluminosilicate gel, or the like. As the alumina source, use can be made of aluminum sulfate, sodium aluminate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum chloride, an aluminosilicate gel, aluminum metal, or the like. It is desirable to use a silica source and an alumina source which are in such a form that they can be sufficiently evenly mixed with the other ingredients.
As the alkali source, use can be made of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, the alkali components of an aluminate and silicate, the alkali component of an aluminosilicate gel, or the like.
As the SDA, use is made of at least one member selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trialkyladamantylammonium as a cation and of the hydroxides, halides, carbonates, methyl carbonates, and sulfates which each include an N,N,N-trimethylbenzylammonium ion, an N-alkyl-3-quinuclidinol ion, or an N,N,N-trialkyl-2-ammonium exonorbornane as a cation.
In particular, as the SDA, use can be made of at least one member selected from the group consisting of N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium hydroxide (hereinafter abbreviated to “TMADAOH”), N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium halides, N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium carbonate, N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium methyl carbonate, and N,N,N-trimethyladamantylammonium sulfate.
The chabazite-type zeolite of the invention can be produced so that the SDA/SiO2 ratio is 0.05 or greater but less than 0.13 and the H2O/SiO2 ratio is 5 or greater but less than 30.
In the case where the SDA/SiO2 ratio is 0.13 or greater, the chabazite-type zeolite which can be obtained is limited to one having an average crystal particle diameter less than 1.5 μm as in conventional techniques. Furthermore, since the SDA is expensive, use of such a higher SDA/SiO2 ratio is uneconomical. On the other hand, in the case where the SDA/SiO2 ratio is less than 0.05, the crystallization of the chabazite-type zeolite is insufficient and by-products (impurities) are generated.
In the case where the H2O/SiO2 ratio is 30 or greater, the result is a reduced yield and the process is hence uneconomical. On the other hand, in the case where the H2O/SiO2 ratio is less than 5, the viscosity of starting material increased and hence results in no fluidity, making industrial production difficult. In either case, by-products (impurities and unreacted reactants) can be easily generated.
It is preferred that the starting-material composition in the invention should have an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 16-100. In the case where the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio is less than 16 or greater than 100, it is difficult to synthesize a chabazite-type zeolite having a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 15-50.
The OH/SiO2 ratio, which is an index to the amount of hydroxide ions, is preferably 0.1 or greater but less than 0.9, and is more preferably 0.15-0.5. In the case where the OH/SiO2 ratio is less than 0.1, the crystallization of zeolite is difficult to proceed. In the case where the OH/SiO2 ratio is 0.9 or greater, dissolution of the silica component is accelerated and, hence, it is difficult to obtain a chabazite-type zeolite having the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio and particle diameter according to the invention.
When the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention is produced, the chabazite-type zeolite is crystallized in the presence of at least one element selected from the group consisting of K, Rb, and Cs, as alkali metal ions having the function of mineralizing. In the case where such alkali metal ions are not contained, crystallization proceeds insufficiently and by-products (impurity crystals) are generated, when the starting-material composition has an SDA/SiO2 ratio less than 0.13. In addition, it is difficult to obtain a chabazite-type zeolite having an average particle diameter of 1.5 μm or more according to the invention. From the standpoint of economical rationality, K ions are preferred.
The starting-material composition constituted of water, a silica source, an alumina source, an alkali ingredient, and an SDA is crystallized at any desired temperature of 100-200° C. over a sufficiently long period in a closed vessel. Thus, the chabazite-type zeolite can be produced. During the crystallization, the starting-material composition may be allowed to remain static. It is, however, preferred that the starting-material composition should be kept being stirred and mixed. After completion of the crystallization, the resultant mixture is allowed to cool sufficiently and subjected to solid-liquid separation. The solid matter is washed with a sufficient amount of pure water and dried at any desired temperature of 100-150° C. Thus, a chabazite-type zeolite according to the invention is obtained.
The chabazite-type zeolite, as obtained, can be used as an adsorbent, a catalyst support, or an ion exchanger body. The chabazite-type zeolite obtained contains the SDA and/or the alkali metal within the pores, and can be used after these ingredients are removed according to need. For removing the SDA and/or the alkali metal, use can be made of a liquid-phase treatment with an acidic solution or with a chemical including an SDA-decomposing ingredient, an exchange treatment with a resin or the like, or thermal decomposition. A combination of these treatments may also be used. It is also possible to utilize the ion-exchange ability of the zeolite to convert the zeolite to the H form or NH4 form before the zeolite is used. For this conversion, a known technique can be used.

Example 9 Hydrothermal Resistance Test of Zeolites
Dry powders of zeolite 3 and comparative zeolite 1 were calcined at 600° C. for 2 hours in an air stream. Thereafter, each powder was press-molded and then pulverized to obtain a powder regulated so as to be composed of 12- to 20-mesh particles. 3 ml of each zeolite having the regulated particle sizes was filled into an ordinary-pressure fixed-bed flow-through type reaction tube. While air containing 10% by volume moisture was being passed at 300 mL/min, the zeolite was treated at 900° C. for two levels of periods, i.e., 1 hour and 16 hours. The hydrothermal resistance of each zeolite was evaluated in terms of crystallinity as determined after the hydrothermal treatment. The crystallinity was determined by subjecting the zeolite to powder X-ray diffraction and calculating the ratio of the intensity of the diffraction peak appearing at d=4.25, as shown in Table 1, to the intensity thereof for the zeolite that had not undergone the hydrothermal treatment, which was taken as 100. In Table 4 is shown the values of crystallinity (%) of each zeolite which had undergone the hydrothermal treatment. The results show that the chabazite-type zeolite of the invention had higher retentions of crystallinity than the conventional chabazite-type zeolite and had excellent thermal resistance.
